[1] Kilkieran High Crosses are located on the grounds of the former monastery, about 2 km (1.2 mi) south of Ahenny.

Local legend claims that the tall North Cross was once destroyed in an act of iconoclasm, but was painstakingly reconstructed in the mid-19th century by blind local stonemason Paddy Laurence, who had lost his sight while working on the Palace of Westminster in London.

[3] The west (decorated) cross is 3.55 metres (11.6 ft) high with a conical cap and is similar to those at Ahenny.

Carvings include eight horsemen, chrysanthemums, Celtic interlace and a mitre-like crown.

[5] The Plain (East) Cross is 2.8 metres (9.2 ft) tall and undecorated, except for mouldings and a central boss that mimic metalwork, and a heavy mitre-like crown.
